The different chemicals that were used in this experiment were Pilocarpine, Atropine Sulfate, Epinephrine, Digitals, Potassium, Sodium, and calcium ion concertation. Pilocarpine stimulates the effect of parasympathetic nerve stimulation by enhancing acetylcholine release. Atropine Sulfate is a drug that blocks the effect of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine which is liberated by the parasympathetic nerve endings. Cardiac muscle and skeletal muscle are both different in functionally and in fine…
CHAPTER ONE 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the Study Ultrasonography is an excellent modality for examining abdominal structures including the location and dimensions of canine kidneys (Remichi et al., 2014). It involves a non-invasive procedure for examination of kidney diseases (Sampaio and Araujo, 2002) and offers advantages over radiography as there are no side effects of radiation and contrast agents (Nyland et al., 1995). Canine kidneys are located in the retroperitoneal region of the…
Many athletic trainers use a modality called therapeutic ultrasound to help with the healing process of various kinds of injuries. Athletic trainers use ultrasound on a specific injury called patellar tendinopathy. Patellar tendinopathy is also referred to as “jumper’s knee” or patellar tendinitis. Patellar tendinopathy is a degenerative injury that could be caused by overuse. Athletes who have this injury usually have pain on the inferior pole of the patella. This condition usually develops…
1. Introduction The second trimester scan is a routine ultrasound examination in many countries that is primarily used to assess fetal anatomy and detect the presence of any fetal anomalies. The second trimester extends from 13 weeks and 0 days to 27 weeks and 6 days of gestation although the majority of these studies are performed between 18 and 23 weeks. (Chudleigh & Thilaganathan, 2004) 2. Patient’s history The patient is a 31 year old pregnant female, with unsure dates of her last menstrual…
CVC General Consideration INDICATIONS To give medications to the patient e.g. vasopressors, chemotherapy, antibiotics1 Parentral nutrition (PEN) Hemodynamic monitoring – e.g. central venous pressure (CVP) In case of difficult or poor peripheral venous access CONTRAINDICATION: some of the relative contraindications are Anatomic distortion at insertion site Coagulopathy Already existing intravascular devices SITES Internal juglar vein (IJV) Suvclavian vein ( SCV) Femoral vein…
Ultrasound sonography is used in almost every field of medicine practiced today. It is a very important tool in diagnosing several possibly deadly illness. Ultrasound sonography may be the best option in certain situations while other options may not even be a first option. But, as with anything there are certain risk factors that need to be taken into consideration. There are pros and cons to almost everything, however this essay should show you how the pros outway the cons. The field of…
Development of an Automatic Car Parking System Abstract—This Paper proposes the development of an Automatic Car Parking System imparting performance. This proposed framework uses sensors, electric power steering, path planning, path tracking and pure pursuit algorithm. The verification of the vehicle was demonstrated using the electric power steering for tracking the path. An ultrasonic sensor is used to determine the availability of the parking space. Drivers can uses user interactive interface…
sonographers). Ideally, such measurements have to be done when the probe is levelled (i.e. same pressure to both ends of the linear array transducer) and a minimum compression force is being applied to the patient body. However, often in practice these conditions are not satisfied and therefore the measurements of tissue elasticity are biased and even inconsistent from one measurement to another…
he intent of the paper is to give the reader a closer examination of a variety of Medical Imaging modalities that are being used today. A short rundown is presented for Interventional Radiography, Nuclear Medicine, Mammography, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Ultrasound, and Radiation Therapy. Following is a more in-depth look at Computed Tomography that will give the reader a better comprehension of how it separates itself from other medical imaging specialties. Interventional radiology: The…
1. The background and significance of the project DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the main chemical components of Chromosome, and is the material composition of genes. In the breeding process, the parent is passed to the offspring to copy part of their own DNA, thus completing the spread of traits. DNA is well-suited for biological information storage. The DNA backbone is resistant to cleavage, and both strands of the double-stranded structure store the same biological information. DNA…
